If you want to watch a random universe that doesn't exist, Super Dave is the perfect show.
This show delivers the perfect surrealism you'd expect from a late late night show.
I feel compelled to give an example of another surrealist show. There are a lot of other late night surrealist shows such as Eric Andre show. The issue with such shows is that they push the boundaries of believable too much and they become annoying.
Super Dave, is show that is showing a completely made up universe with random events and people who seem to be celebrities for no reason. But if you take things as they come, they make sense, sort of! From aate night surrealist show I expect a perfect combination of confusing and funny.

Let me begin by saying I watch this show a lot. I have seen the show maybe 5 times forwards and back. Season after season, I see that the show is losing its edge for me. This movie finally helped me put my finger on it. Even worse, the movies even failed at delivering its own best version. When the show started it was about this dysfunctional family of odd but relatable people with some good luck. The more the show went on, it became more and more about realistic art, realistic plots, and realistic people.
First the art. When you watch the very 1st episode, the characters look asymmetric and the detail in the animation is low to not want to compete with realism. With every season, the art style became cleaner and cleaner. Characters look symmetric, there are more lines to give the drawings some depth, there is more shading, etc. This movie took the clean drawing art style to the max. The shading in some scenes didn't make sense based on the time of day or the angle of the light. It kept making me think, they really didn't need to add depth.
Second the actual movie. The movie was literally a weak repeat of 5 old plots from the show. The lines in the script were practically recycled from the show. The dialogs were disappointingly unimaginative and predictable. And lastly, the songs were really just okay. In the show the musicals are at least catchy. Not here.
Here is my verdict: It's fine to do the "same old same old" in a 20-minute episode. But I couldn't watch the old stories for one and half hours, especially given how unfunny the jokes were and how boring the songs were. I really endured the movie.

This movie is an excellent illustration of Alzheimer's disease. Anthony Hopkins nails the acting. The way he acts the deterioration of his mind is unbelievable.
